College of Technology and Computer Science

Department of Technology Systems

Admission

Upon admission to the university, students may declare a major in one of the following degree programs: design, industrial distribution and logistics, industrial engineering technology, or information and computer technology. The design, industrial distribution and logistics, and information and computer technology degree programs are accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering. The minimum degree requirement is 126 s.h. of credit.

The bachelor of science in industrial technology, which is also accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering, is designed specifically to meet a broad range of needs of transfer students from community colleges. Students accepted to ECU may declare an intent to enroll in the bachelor of science in industrial technology program, but must apply for admission to a specific concentration. Students not yet accepted into this program will not be allowed to enroll in concentration courses. Acceptance into the program may require additional qualifications such as industry certifications and additional courses depending on the chosen concentration, the earned associate degree, and the student’s background. All students pursuing a bachelor of science in industrial technology through distance education (online) are required to complete ITEC 3000 in their initial semester of enrollment at East Carolina University.

Admission to the online BS in industrial technology program requires ITEC 3000 with a minimum grade of C. Those ECU students intending to transfer to a technology systems degree program from other campus programs must have at least a 2.0 GPA.
